Ep 18. Lachy chats to Tom Daniels, co-founder of OneLink Holdings, about how Australian businesses can source and custom manufacture products in China. Australia imported over $70 billion dollars worth of products from China in 2023. Electronics, machinery, cars - you name it. China's massive manufacturing base and heavy investments in R&D has elevated the country to a world leader in advanced manufacturing technologies, and at large-scale with competitive prices. China isn't alone, other countries in Asia like Vietnam have developed their manufacturing ecosystem. All this presents an opportunity for Australian businesses who want to source or custom manufacture high-quality products, efficiently, and be cost effective.
